"This Anti-Abortion EO Is Blatant Chicanery"

In this we can rest assured our president will be consistent.

It’s a complete fraud and the Stupid-pact group have sold out. Hope whatever few pieces of silver they traded their souls for were worth it.

Boehner: “Pro-Life” Democrats Can’t Hide Behind an Executive Order

Rec’d via e-mail | Sunday, March 21, 2010 | John Boehner

Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 12:10:31 PM by kristinn

GOP Leader: “Make no mistake, a ‘yes’ vote on the Democrats’ health care bill is a vote for taxpayer-funded abortions.”

WASHINGTON, DC – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement on a potential Executive Order from the White House on abortion:

“The law of the land trumps any Executive Order, which can be reversed or altered at the stroke of a pen by this or any subsequent President without any congressional approval or notice. Moreover, while an Executive Order can direct members of the executive branch, it cannot direct the private sector.

“Because of Roe v. Wade, courts have interpreted the decision as a statutory mandate that the government must provide federal funding for elective abortion in through federal programs. In other words, no Executive Order or regulation can override a statutory mandate unless Congress passes a law that prohibits federal funding from being used in this manner. Legal experts at the US Catholic Conference of Bishops, National Right to Life Committee, Americans United for Life, and Family Research Council have confirmed this view that if the Senate bill is signed into law, it is a statutory mandate for the new health plans to include federal funding of elective abortion. The need for an Executive Order is evidence that this is true, and Congressional Democrats know it. Make no mistake, a ‘yes’ vote on the Democrats’ health care bill is a vote for taxpayer-funded abortions.”

The supposedly ‘pro-life’ D@mocrats once again prove (beyond a shadow of a doubt) that the term ‘principled Democrat’ is an oxymoron...

If Stupak thinks he’s assuaged the Party Bosses with this deal, he’s got another thing coming. If and when the President decides to rescind the EO, then Stupak loses face. This could be used as a threat in order to keep him in line on future votes so as to avoid looking like a chump on the health care deal. He’s got a lot more to lose from the President reneging on this thing than Obama does. So in a sense, not only have they bought him off on the Health Care vote, but in perpetuity.

Glad McCarthy weighed in on this—he’s got a great legal mind.
